For telecommunication standards, you are absolutely correct. It is an
international ITU standard and set up for exactly these sorts of
reasons. I'm not arguing that...and IMO standardization is a good thing.

But the original issue was net neutrality and whether or not the states
should be able to regulate their own systems. And my point was not a
techincal one but a legal one: that giving states that abilitiy will
cause more complications and ultimately serve to undermine any sort of
neutrality on the Internet.

I honestly don't care if the Feds implement net neutrality or the UN
just as long as we don't go in the direction of censorship.
